Actor John Cusack is reportedly in negotiations to play Beach Boys frontman Brian Wilson in the upcoming biopic “Love and Mercy“, The Wrap reports.

The film, directed by Bill Pohlad, will take an unconventional look at the life of Wilson and explore his well known battle mental illness.

Paul Dano (“Looper,” “There Will Be Blood,” “Little Miss Sunshine”) has already been confirmed to play a younger Brian Wilson, while Cusack will play Wilson in his later years.

“Love and Mercy” is currently in active development.
